It would be pretty sweet if there was a big list with locations and dates of demo days for each company. Google searches aren't helping me. I get a couple results when I type in Burton, but aside from that, nothing.

Try searching whats going on at your home mountain, or check out the specific board website. I know NS has a calender with all their Demo Days.

hah, nothing ever goes on at my home mountain. I couldn't find anything on k2s site even and they are a fairly large company. The burton website shows where there are demo centers and whatnot, that's about it though.

Not all of them unfortunately. My local shop doesn't do rentals, although they do have a trade in period where you can return it for a different board if you didn't like it.

That sucks, the cool thing is that it was like rent to own. You could put the rental fees toward the actual purchase if you wanted to. It was kind of expensive though, something like 40 bucks for a day.
